My next makeover target was my book shelf. I love craft and sewing books, really any type of book that has to do with these subjects is welcome in my book shelves at any time. Before my bookshelf was just that a shelf with all of my books tossed in.
Now it is a beautifully organized library of craft!
I spent the time to organize my books into different categories so I can easily find the book I want when I want it.
The top shelf includes all of my general sewing books:
My book shelf also has my little collection of vintage toy sewing machines! The next shelf includes all of my bag making books, needle art books (knitting, crochet and embroidery) and all of my general craft books.
The next shelf has all of the jewelry/button crafts, paper crafting and business books.
The next shelf has a small storage unit and a collection of my journals that are just too pretty to use and write in so I just keep them to look at.
The final shelf has all of my sewing patterns (divided in two boxes, one for purses and one for everything else) and the rest of my miscellaneous books - fashion, decorating and a few others.
I have tried to keep a little extra room on the shelf because I am sure there will be more books to add to my shelf soon. Like Martha's new Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts that is coming out next month!
